People try very hard to ignore the consequences of being wrong. Fear in this case is dangerous, because cause stagnation and break curiosity.
My father was in the Korean war, on the peninsula.
He did not have access to butter or milk for something like 9 months.
When he got R & R to Tokyo he ate a pound of butter with a knife and fork.
I should note that while I don't know how fast he could do math in his head he could count/remember cards like nobody's business. Also he died of a massive coronary at 64 weighing close to 290 pounds.
Are you implying that there is a causal link between his consumption of butter and his weight gain?
Bah. It looks like an eariler, much more detailed and funnier reply got eaten by something.
But to answer, no, I don't think specifically and narrowly his butter eating lead to his rather large size, but rather his eating of almost everything that would taste good, and in quantities that were sometimes moderately impressive.
Given how much he ate and smoked, and how little he moved it's a wonder he wasn't twice as big and that he lived as long as he did.
